Abstract

This document updates IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (RFC 4861) and IPv6Subnet Neighbor Discovery (RFC 8505, RFC 8928) to enable a node thatowns or is directly connected to a prefix to register that prefix toneighbor routers. The registration indicates that the registeredprefix can be reached via the advertising node without a loop. Theunicast prefix registration allows the node to request one or moreneighbor routers to redistribute the prefix in another routing domainregardless of the routing protocol used in that domain. Thisdocument updates the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and LossyNetworks (RPL), as specified in RFCs 6550 and 9010, to enable a6LoWPAN Router (6LR) to inject the registered prefix in RPL.
